Two minutes into the sale and back of arena off the floor is all that would come up for Chicago. I wonder how much of a commission Clear Channel is making from the scalpers? The scalpers are being helped...no doubt about it. I wonder who else...or what group is also reselling tickets for major profits. Okay, officially... as a fan...that was a semi rhetorical question.

Welcome to Jan and Bert's world! That's been our ONLY pet peeve in the cher world to date..the tickets ordeal..I know my buddy Kathy from Chicago just emailed me she's having tough time too and she wants to take her little girl Lauren finally..shame what she and other parents and all fans who follow Cher have to go thru..geesh look what poor Vonni went thru just for one of the Iowa ones recently! Guess Mid West not always so wonderful w/cher tkts..what's sickening is how much the brokers/scalpers get and how they get em so before! Shame..really is..I commend the artists who help the fans..I see it thru my NON Cher friends who follow other artists boy..they see how they got it made and what I go thru! Shame! Really is

Sorry the ticket quest wasn't too successful for you, Susan, I feel your pain.
My two cents' worth are the same as everyone else's here. It's just a shame.....

I just looked at some of the brokers prices for the Chicago show and I CAN NOT BELIEVE what they are asking for them!!! It has to be because they know she is very popular and people will pay to sit close! Good thing she is bringing this tour to a close...because if ticket prices continue like this...no one would be able to afford to go!!! This really stinks big time! I just do not get it... how scalping is illegal but yet brokers can do it like this with the great seats every show? But yet they go after boot leg tee-shirts..don't get it?  DEE |

I think Cher THINKS her people are taking care of things like that. If she tells them to take care of something and they don't how is she to know? I feel bad about the stuff going on behind her back.

OK Dee..I'm afraid to ask! If they are outrageous...I am screwed...  I have to get Front Row for Katie to see...and to stand. There is no way she can see otherwise because everyone stands at Cher's Show...YOU HAVE TOO!! So...Katie can stand and hold onto the railing if I get Front Row and there is no one in her way...I'm really worried now...haven't had time to look. EEK! Di |

Here are two more of my cents' worth... I've been helping a friend try to get Hollywood Bowl tickets, just scoping out the broker sites....hold on to your keyboards for this, guys.....some of the pool seats are selling for over $6,000 each!!! There's no justification for that at all, except maybe greed....  Debbie |

Looks like Katie Bug and I aren't goin...can't afford that...NO WAY!  She's got to get up close to hold on...and to see.. Just SUCKS OUT LOUD MAN! |

WoW Janet...I feel your pain GIRL!! OUCH!! This time it really hit me because it actually hit my pocketbook!! I'm like OMG!! $975 a ticket for 2nd row was just BOOM!! You might as well ask a million. GEEZ! You poor babes out there on the East Coast...and now it's hitting us...EEK! Oh well...they gotcha by the "you know whats"..because she's quitting the tour...so they gotcha BIG TIME...just really sucks for us DIE HARD FANS...really does. I had to pick up Katie from school...she's got strep...man this poor girl. Been out now...almost twelve days with four different viruses and bacterias. Schools are just filled with this creeping crud!! ANYHOO...you guys have to listen to what she said. I took her to McDonalds..had lunch and broke the news...I said "Katie, I don't think I can afford to buy us tickets for the Chicago Show Honey..I'm soo sorry"..(and GUYS remember this was the time we were going to leave for MARCO...but would delay it a day)...she goes "Awww It's ok Mom, we don't have to go...I'm not mad...let's just be a family...because you know family is important...so let's just go with Daddy and the boys to Marco and have family time." I ABOUT DIED!! She cares more about being with Dad and her brothers and all going to Marco together than she does saying Goodbye to Cher and her buddies... THAT ROCKS!! I am one lucky Mom ;D and I guess I've done my job  So..if we don't go...she's KEWL with it...what a kid!! KATIE BUG ROCKS!! |

Yeah, I agree with what you all have said...And Susan, especially with what you said...I too think Cher thinks her "people" take care of crap like this and then they don't and - how is she to know otherwise? It frustrates me and makes me so upset to think about... Awww....Di, what your Katie said - what a sweetie! She is one special girl... |

Yeah...I think you guys are right too about that Cher thinks "they" (her camp) will take care of it with her fans...but she's got to know they don't Man!! She does think we are absolutely crazy for seeing her so many times and paying all that money. She's like...WHY DO THEY KEEP COMING TO SEE ME??

Di, Sorry I didn't get back with you on the Chicago prices; but I have been working mega hours to help pay for my trips this year. I could not believe how much they wanted this time around for the show...really stinks.! Thought maybe I would go but not with those prices and HB too.
What Katie said is just too precious! What a very special girl you have...you must have been a great mom! Have a great time with your family on the beach...that is sooo special! Wish Cher could have heard Katie's statement you know you def would have been right up front!!!!
take "Cher" DEE
